Classic Potato Salad Recipe with Small Red Potatoes

This is a excellent red potato salad that everyone will like and goes great with just about everything from the grill or BBQ. In the recipe I call for either the red skinned potatoes or Yukon gold. They give a bit of a less starchy texture. You can use the russets if you love that texture too.

6-8 servings

2 lb red potatoes, Yukon golds or for something kind of wild and non-classic and use the red, white and blue.

1/2 cup mayonnaise

2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar

2 teaspoons mustard, I like to use the country style Dijon, but regular Dijon will do

4 green onions thinly sliced

2 tablespoon chopped flat leaf parsley

3 celery ribs cut into ¼ in dice

Kosher salt and black pepper to taste

Boil the potatoes in salted water until cooked and tender, cool them in a cold water bath. When cooled dice the potatoes in ½ dice, combine with all other ingrediants.

Keep chilled and serve!

Classic Potato Salad Recipe with Fresh Herbs

This is likely very close to the most commonly made potato salad recipe. I like to add the fresh herbs it really boosts the flavors. Using Russet potatoes which are a little starchier and less waxy.
